Oct 21, 2020 I actually can’t believe how much of a colossal f--- up the whole Revival era was. Such a shame because my anticipation for that album was through the roof
Oct 21, 2020 I remember screenshotting a fake tracklist for Revival that looked great while the album promo was still medication-themed. Unfortunately, I don't have access to my phone where I work so I can't post it rn.
Oct 21, 2020 I know Eminem can do whatever he wants, but I think even he knows if he is going to release three albums in this short amount of time this album needs to be a good addition to his discography. It felt like Kamikaze got him back on the right track, MTBMB was a decent attempt at taking that same energy and putting it into a fully fleshed-out album, so hopefully, this album is perfecting what he did right with both Kamikaze and MTBMB. I don't expect or need a classic from him. I just don't think he's capable of it, but I would love an album I can play from front to back without a huge desire to skip any song.
Oct 21, 2020 I feel like he is righting the wrongs of Revival: Kamikaze was the response, MTBMB was an attempt to make an album like Revival with better artistic choices and now he is gonna try making a better political statement than the last time. At least that's my understanding of his recent moves.
Oct 21, 2020 It's still wild to me that he clearly had a lot to say politically, but his main political songs on Revival were a rock-based song about cops that no respectable hip-hop head would ever listen to and a god awful attempt at a pop song featuring Alicia Keys. If either of those topics would have been over a Dr. Dre beat that people would not be embarrassed to play in their car, the view of Eminem's attempt at going political would have been completely different
